Microsoft's ads, humor boost consumer opinion of IE

But tech fans still think less of the browser than does the general public

Computerworld - Microsoft's recent campaigns touting Internet Explorer 9 (IE9), including a tongue-in-cheek promotion it unveiled last week, have moved IE's quality perception needle for U.S. adults, according to a brand quality measurement company.

"When we see an inflection [in the quality scores], we look at other events that are happening," said Ted Marzilli, the global manager for BrandIndex, a brand awareness and consumer perception service of U.K.-based YouGov.

While BrandIndex does not gauge reaction to specific ad campaigns, Marzilli called Microsoft's marketing moves "a contributing factor."

IE's perception index is at its highest level since January 2011, said Marzilli.

Best Microsoft MCTS Certification, Microsoft MCITP Training at certkingdom.com

Microsoft has been running national television ads for IE9 and a week ago kicked off a "browser you loved to hate" website and video. In the latter Microsoft poked fun at computer enthusiasts who obsessively uninstalled IE from friends' and family members' PCs.

The ads and self-deprecating humor seem to have won over some people.

From March 5-14, BrandIndex measured a 10-point jump in the quality perception rating of IE among U.S. adults, and a nine-point increase in the group that identified themselves as early technology adopters. By March 16, IE's quality rating was 50 among U.S. adults, 44 among early adopters.

Not surprisingly, IE's rating is regularly higher in the general population than it is among early adopters, who have long criticized the browser as behind the times.

Mozilla's Firefox, meanwhile, also saw a jump in its BrandIndex score, ending March 16 at 44 for early adopters, 28 for the general public. Unlike IE, Firefox's early adopter score tracks above that of the general population, belying its standing as a more flexible alternative.

"Early adopters and fast followers have a more favorable impression of Firefox than the general population," said Marzilli. "That's in tune with those who consider themselves advanced users, who are usually more eager to explore new technology, and may want to use a more obscure browser because that separates them from their peers."

BrandIndex measures browser brand quality by interviewing 5,000 U.S. adults 18 and older daily, pulling the people polled from a pool of about 1.5 million Americans. Scores range from 100 to -100, and are compiled by subtracting negative feedback from positive, meaning that a score of zero is equal parts positive and negative.

BrandIndex doesn't ask people their take on Google's Chrome.

It's difficult to assess whether the spike in perception that BrandIndex reported has translated into more IE users.

But according to Irish Web metrics company StatCounter, IE's U.S. usage share for the seven-day stretch of March 9-15 was 42.3%, eight-tenths of a percentage point higher than the seven days prior. Since March 15, however, IE's average daily share has dropped to 40.8%.

Firefox's U.S. share also moved slightly this month, hitting a seven-day low of 21.3% the same week that IE peaked.

Linux 3.3 released after minor delay

Best Microsoft MCTS Certification, Microsoft MCITP Training at certkingdom.com

Networking, new hardware support and Android re-integration added to Linux kernel

Version 3.3 of the Linux kernel was released on Sunday, adding support for a new processor architecture, re-integrating the Android code base back into the main line, and introducing networking improvements.

EARLIER: Linux kernel 3.3 delayed

A virtual switching package called Open vSwitch was added to the new variant of the kernel, in a move meant to provide more robust VM configuration options compared to the existing Linux bridge. This could be particularly helpful to companies that maintain heavily virtualized environments. Combined with improvements in the way Linux handles complex network traffic, this could make version 3.3 a substantial step forward for the data center.

Support for the Texas Instruments C6X family of single- and multiple-core processors was also integrated into Linux 3.3, as was a new type of bootloader that allows a single kernel image to be used for both EFI and BIOS.

However, the most notable change may have been the reincorporation of most of the Android mobile platform back into the main Linux tree. The decision to do so was reached at the Kernel Summit in December 2011, according to LWN, which added that the move came as something of a surprise.

The full release was expected roughly a week ago, but kernel maintainer Linus Torvalds imposed a slight delay, saying that a number of minor issues needed to be addressed.

"Things did indeed calm down during the last week," he wrote in the announcement.

Apple joins iPad trade-in bandwagon, offers competitive deals

As third-gen tablet debut nears, Apple outsources offers for used iPads and iPad 2s

Best Microsoft MCTS Certification, Microsoft MCITP Training at certkingdom.com

Computerworld - With the retail debut of the new iPad just a day away, Apple has joined a slew of other companies eager to buy used iPads.

On Wednesday, Apple added iPad 2 trade-ins to its Reuse and Recycling program, which exchanges used hardware for Apple gift cards.

The move pits Apple against the likes of eBay's Instant Sale buy-back service, and firms such as Gazelle and NextWorth that specialize in buying smartphones and tablets.

Reuse and Recycling is only available to U.S. customers. Apple outsources its electronics recycling and buy-back programs to PowerON, a Roseville, Calif. company.
Apple's iPad

Apple joins iPad trade-in bandwagon, offers competitive deals
Apple to open stores at 8 a.m. Friday for iPad sales
Corporations pick iPad 10-to-1 over nearest rival
iPads used to bolster physician training, speed up patient care
iPad to push global demand for flash memory through '15
'Siri, I have some some suggestions for you'
eBay resellers cash in on iPad shortages
Apple runs out of new iPads for Friday delivery
Used iPad trade-in values tumble after Apple unveils new tablet
FAQ: What you need to know now about the 'new iPad'

Full coverage: iPad

On Thursday, Apple offered $205 for a used 16GB Wi-Fi iPad 2.

The quote was competitive with other buy-back vendors.

Gazelle, for example, quoted $180 for the same iPad 2 in "good" condition, or $200 for a "flawless" tablet. (Gazelle has said that most incoming iPads meet the requirements for the latter label.)

Meanwhile, NextWorth offered $200 for a 16GB Wi-Fi iPad 2 in "good" shape, or $210.50 for one in "like new" condition.

eBay's Instant Sale site, which generates quotes for used iPads and other electronic devices, also offered $200 for the iPad 2.

Some of the dealers' prices have slipped since last week when Computerworld last covered tablet trade-in trends. On March 9, for example, NextWorth was offering $215 for a 16GB Wi-Fi iPad 2 in good condition, while eBay, then running a deal that expired Saturday, said it would pay $290 for the same device.

In return for a used iPad, Apple sends sellers an Apple gift card valid only for purchases made at an Apple retail store or orders placed through its online store.

Other buy-back vendors are more flexible: Gazelle will send sellers an Amazon gift card -- it automatically adds another 5% of the quoted price -- or a check, or deposits the money in the seller's PayPal account.

NextWorth offers checks, a Target gift card or PayPal deposits. And it shouldn't be a surprise that eBay only does transfers to PayPal, the electronic payment service it owns.

Trade-in volume continues to climb. Yesterday, Gazelle said it had seen an eight-fold increase in trade-ins since Apple unveiled the new iPad last week.

Although supplies are already tight -- the current wait time between ordering and shipping is two to three weeks -- Apple will sell the new tablet in its own retail stores starting at 8 a.m. Friday.

Big data’ creating big career opportunities for IT pros

Big data’ creating big career opportunities for IT pros
New jobs expected for developers, administrators, as well as emerging ‘data scientist’ role

New job opportunities are emerging for IT professionals in the field of “big data,” the term used to describe how corporations gather vast amounts of real-time data about their customers and analyze that data to drive decision making and increase profitability.

Best Microsoft MCTS Certification, Microsoft MCITP Training at certkingdom.com
A new job title — data scientist — is all the rage. A data scientist typically has a background in computer science or mathematics as well as the analytical skills necessary to find the proverbial needle in a haystack of data gathered by the corporation.

“A data scientist is somebody who is inquisitive, who can stare at data and spot trends,” says Anjul Bhambhri, vice president of Big Data Products at IBM. “It’s almost like a Renaissance individual who really wants to learn and bring change to an organization.”

Unheard of 18 months ago, “data scientist” has exploded in popularity as a Google search term. The number of Google searches of “data scientist” hit peaks 20 times higher than normal in the last quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. It’s a popular search term in high-tech hotspots such as San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and New York.

Among the U.S. companies looking to hire data scientists are PayPal, Amazon and HP. Indeed, the term “data scientist” is mentioned in 195 job listings on the Dice.com website for IT professionals.

IT departments also are adding data-centric developers and system administrators who specialize in tools such as the open source Apache Hadoop software. Hadoop is designed for data-intensive, distributed applications and used by such popular websites as Yahoo, Facebook, LinkedIn and eBay.

MORE: Hadoop wins over enterprises, spawns talent crunch

Hadoop is mentioned in 612 of 83,122 job listings on Dice.com. Among the companies looking to hire Hadoop software engineers and developers are AT&T Interactive, Sears, PayPal, AOL and Deloitte.

Hadoop “is an emerging skill,” says Alice Hill, managing director of Dice.com. “Companies need to manage large-scale data operations, and the whole idea of Hadoop is that you can do it inexpensively. That works really well with what we’re seeing in terms of the movement to the cloud.”

Hill sees opportunities related to Hadoop for both entry-level and experienced IT staff, as well as for hardware and software specialists.

“Traditional hardware people need to figure out how to cluster in different environments. It’s not just about buying a database and hooking it up to a hard drive. Now you have distributed databases that are hooked up to multiple servers and multiple hard drives,” Hill says. Hadoop “is inexpensive, but it require somebody who really knows how to scale hardware.”

Hill says Hadoop is also a good skill for IT professionals with relational database management experience to pursue. “If you really understand data structure and queries, there’s going to be a lot of job opportunities,” she adds.

Job opportunities for data scientists and Hadoop specialists are emerging across industries, from Web companies and e-retailers to financial services, healthcare, energy, utilities and media.

“There are so many directions you can go in with these [data management] skills,” Hill says. “It’s very fertile ground for experienced IT professionals, but also for people coming out with computer science degrees. It’s a great area to specialize in.”

Bhambhri says IT departments will be looking to hire new people in the area of big data as well as to retrain some of their existing staff to add data analysis and Hadoop-related programming and administrative skills. For example, IBM retrained 2,400 IT professionals at Big Data Bootcamps that it held for its customers and partners last year.

RELATED: Get Hadoop certified … fast

“The IT departments really have to expand their data platforms and not be restricted to structured data repositories,” Bhambhri says. “They have to bring in new sources of unstructured data in their platforms to answer the questions that C-level executives are asking for their decision-making processes. From an IT perspective, it’s very important for the IT folks to not only identify these data sources but to work with their business counterparts to discover what other sources of data need to be seamlessly integrated into their platforms.”

IBM has a new initiative called Big Data University aimed at training undergraduate and graduate students in the area of big data and exposing them to Hadoop. Launched last October, Big Data University has already attracted more than 14,000 students to register for its online courses. IBM offers six online courses related to Hadoop and big data.

“We are trying to get the students to really see the potential of big data and what the business outcomes can be from these new sources of data,” Bhambhri says. “We’re giving them use cases from retail, healthcare and telecommunications companies. We’re showing them what was not possible before is possible now because of the work we have done with different customers in these different industries.”

Bhambhri is optimistic about the career prospects for IT professionals with data management and Hadoop skills.

“In every industry, there is a lot of data that is getting captured, whether it is sensor data or log data or data coming from social media like Facebook and Twitter,” Bhambhri says. “The volumes of the data are huge. So what has been happening is that a lot of our customers are capturing the data, but until now there was no technology that was available that they could use to analyze this data quickly in a cost-effective manner. That was a huge bottleneck. Now we read what Yahoo and Google are doing around Hadoop and MapReduce, and it certainly looks like these open source tools will solve that bottleneck.”
